Police encountered Pamela Fowler last month when she was issued 12 traffic citations, but for some reason, they said the warrant wasn't detected. The officer didn't realize sheriff's deputies had been looking for her, and Fowler was permitted to drive away.

A sheriff's office spokesman said deputies haven't been able to find Fowler.

Fowler, who lost her home to foreclosure, told the Maryland Gazette she planned to resolve her traffic citations. She wouldn't said where she's living or why she hasn't contacted the court.

A state's attorney's office spokeswoman said that Fowler's case is in a "warrant" status, so Fowler hasn't technically been notified of the charges.
